The maps and graphics help visualize the vast range waves traveled. Some of the highest of the waves are impossible to comprehend. Nice job National Geographic 👍🏼
..earthquake..landslide..& rose sea waves..even in lakes! Did you know the Great Lakes have an incredible number of sunken ships? I wanted to know why, & here it is.
The Japan 2011 Tsunami was a lot bigger than the Greenland event. The estimates that the waves reached 38 to 40.5 meters high. That is about 125 feet. And was bigger than the 2004 boxing day tusnami and this was bigger than the Greenland event to, so I don't know if I'm a fan of this video because some of the details aren't totally accurate.
They have a place in Anchorage, that hasn’t been touched since the earthquake of 1964. I lived in Alaska 7 years later. They called this place earthquake park. I have been to Seward and I am sure it’s nothing like it used to be. It’s a drive thru town, except for a gas station where you can buy sandwiches But I left in late 71 , who knows what it’s like now. It was a fishing port/ town. (Sleepy)
I feel so bad for these people...! They lose everything when this happens.. Yet they are so resilient and just start over again! I respect their tenacious ways!
@4:30 This is NOT the Indonesian tsunami, it is a bother view of the Japanese Tsunami you already mentioned. The evergreen/pine trees in the vid do not grow in Indonesia. The other very glaring error was at 11:35 in the vid the you stated the Unsen Tsunami was the result of tidal action. And, at the same time, you were saying it was caused by a landslide. Tsunamis are NOT TIDAL WAVES. Tidal waves (or tidal bores) are caused by tidal action and are rarely deadly because they are well known and everyone simply avoids them. it takes a really dumb person to be killed by a tidal wave. Otherwise, a nice collection...
In the 1950s to 1970s tidal wave was the name for the Japanese word tsunami. I do not remember the use of the word once in the news during the 1964 Alaskan quake and its attendant tsunamis that hit Crescent City, California. We had family in Anchorage at the time and could not call them. It was watched as much as possible, but there were no 24 hour news channels then. We finally received a collect phone call from an Army base where my uncle and his family were being sheltered. Charges were accepted.
@@jimaanders7527 Actually, they were not. The COMMON name was 'tidal wave', but scientists and engineers have ALWAYS called them 'tsunamis' and have been arguing with media news sources, who were the source of the misnomer., seemingly forever. A tidal wave is EXACTLY that, a wave caused by the tides and are forecast with 100% accuracy. Also known as a 'tidal bore'.
I watched a wave come across the bow of the U.S.S. Nimitz in the Pacific. It hit so hard, it seemed to stop that ship dead in the water. The XO was near me and started laughing as he watched me turn green from seasickness.🤣🤣🤣
Money money money money...what will money do when thousands of people dies because of what men thinks the cost of..... life means not worth compared of money ..!!! Those people are not suppose to be the ones to take decisions...they are irresponsable!!!!
Starting at around 2:23 there's a white fluttery thing that enters from the right of the screen and flits across the encroaching waves toward the left of the screen.
Probably because they've yet to be engulfed. When videos talk of 20, 30 and 40 foot waves, people tend to picture walls of water sweeping over the land. The truth is that tsunamis. like far smaller waves, break on hitting the shore, and that height turns into length as the wave sweeps in. Away from the point where the wave broke, the water just rushes through, slowly deepening. If you've ever seen video footage of the Boxing Day Tsunami ( or have the stomach to watch the documentary made from footage taken from video cameras recovered from the debris left behind), it swiftly becomes apparent that, unlike an ordinary wave, which quickly drains back, a tsunami does not. It just keeps on coming, and coming, and coming., and the water gets deeper with each passing second. If you can see the tops of stop signs, the water has not got deep enough to drive the cameraperson away, or else, it may not be footage from the tsunami being discussed!
try harder The truth (Galactic Milankovitch cycles climate) never changes unlike the comfortable lies (CO2, Covid1984, BLM) their UNtruth is built upon. The Galactic Milankovitch cycles Eccentricity The galactic bulge does a complete 360 degree rotation onece every 240,000 years. This causes our magnetic north to vary from 22.5 degrees east to or west declination. Towards or away from our aphelion with the galactic bulge. With aphelion and Perihelion changing once every 60,000 years. Causing extremes of ice and or tropical age when we are closest to or farthest away from the galactic bulge. This 60ka obliquity cycle also regulates the intensity of our 26,000 year precession/Yuga/Great Year cycle of crossing the galaxies Electromagnetic/Gravitational equator/plane once every 13,000 years half the precession/Yuga/Great Year cycle at the vernal/Autumnal equinoxes. This crossing of the galaxies EM/Gravitational plane once every 13,000 years causes EMP plasma burst/Pillars of Fire, Comets as they get pushed from our solar systems OOrt cloud, Asteroids from crossing the Galaxies Kuiper asteroid belt and Cataclysmic size East to West Global Tsunami's probably at 800 mph because our globe rotates at 1000 mph at the equator and 0 mph at the poles with most of the water being in the south because we are moving north. Covid1984 like CO2 is a LIE with an inconvenient truth as it's kernel of truth Precession causes our climate cycles of Continental glaciers with corresponding lower sea levels brought on by East to West global Tsunami's every 13,000 years when we cross the galactic plane at the vernal or autumnal equinoxes. Changing or the north star/Precession regulated by Galactic eccentricity. Global Warming/cooling is being caused by increase/decrease in the amount of Direct sunlight the higher latitudes/poles receive in correspondence with our changing magnetic north with the galactic bulge 240/120,000 year rotation cycle. Jesus loved all races because ther is only one race, THE HUMAN RACE! With only one minority. THE INDIVIDUAL HUMAN!

You kept saying earthquakes sets of volcanos when actually it is usually the volcanic activity that causes the earthquakes in the first place, as it’s the movement of lava that causes the earthquakes etc
Why are you calling Japan 2011 , Indonesia. Also, in the beginning you state that you'll be looking at tidal waves, these were not tidal waves, these were tsunamis
Watch out for the impending landslide from La Palma in the Canary Islands. About 1/3 of the island has been separating by an enlarging cracks in the lowlands on the West of the island. Billion+ cumin meters will slide into the sea. The US East coast will be hit from New England to the Caribbean! One of the geologists pointed out that this happened before. " Ever wondered why the cars bean Islands with rare exceptions are elongated along the east- west axis rather than North - South?
The two events in Norway are quite unique since they are both caused by mountain rockslides. There are one more in focus in Åkneset, which can make some trouble in the future. The movie "The wave" is based on that event.
Main thing I think of when I watch these are stray dogs and homeless people... They have nowhere to go...nowhere to hide...All they can do is run...But its not enough...
Boxing day didn't reach no more 30 meters 35 tops. You can hear people talk about a 100 ft wave and 30 meters is like what 98 ft something like that? 35 obviously not much over 100ft which fits what people say they saw. Japan on the other hand was documentary and they even marked some areas to show how high the water got. There's another documentary on Japan called the mystery of the 40 meter wave. Boxing day was worse in when compared to a death count because a bunch of dumb asses chose to go down the beach further as the water got sucked out or chose to record and not run until a huge wave was about to hit them and also they weren't prepared and didn't know. Well some did. But that's more of the reason it was so deadly not just the tsunami. Japan on the other hand knew, was prepared and still got beyond hammered. But because they knew and were prepared not as many people died. But destruction was worse then boxing day, wave was bigger, water traveled further inland and that water was going over 100 mph is some places. If I recall right the plates the shifted or whatever was deeper then in Indonesia. Japan trench plates shifted like 164 ft or something like that. 20 mins later waves hit. Indonesia had a little bit of time if I recall right and I'm not sure but I don't think it was all the close to what's called the epic center or something like that when Japan had it happen almost right on it's door step.
thank god for the internet. now when people see the shoreline receding they know to head for higher ground. it will undoubtedly save thousands of lives!
It's kinda what they do, even the creator of Back to the future said, if it wasn't for the music, this would have been a mediocre movie. In the case of this video, the narrative voice couldn't hold it together!😂😂😂😂
I’m quite surprised you haven’t mentioned the 1st November 1755 Lisbon Earthquake and Tsunami, which hot only destroyed Lisbon but the Tsunami buried half of the city of Cadiz in Southern Spain but the wave continues towards the straits of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean Sea.
Maybe it’s about the 20th century or 21st century I mean because then we can start listing all the different things that have happened to the Earth since the beginning of time and we have a seven hour video
TOTALMENTE CIERTO. ESTAN HACIENDO UN PROTOCOLO DE ACTUACION EN CASO DE.... TANTO EN CÁDIZ COMO EN HUELVA. LOS QUE VIVIMOS JUNTO AL MAR, YA MIRAMOS LAS ALTURAS DE LAS OLAS PARA SABER SI LA GRAN OLA TE ATRAPARÁ, SI ES QUE ESTÁSCEN TU CASA HABITUAL. CUANDO EL TSUNAMI DE JAPÓN, HABÍA CIERTA PARANOIA. RECUERDO IR POR UN PASEO MARÍTIMO Y TUVE QUE CAMBIAR DE CALLE, A UNA MAS ALTA. NO TENGO MIEDO. DEL AGUA VINE, Y AL AGUA VOLVERÍA. A SER POSIBLE EN UNA OLA TIPO REMOLINO. YA LO PROBÉ Y ERA UNA PAZ TREMENDA. ME ESTRELLÓ EN LA ORILLA Y VOLVÍ A LA REALIDAD.
I think the 1752 Portugal tsunami should have been mentioned. If you visit Lisbon today you will notice that at sea level there is no building older than 1752.
You should probably do a bit more fact checking and maybe show the correct footage of what you are talking about at the time. Jesus ..how hard is it to correctly say ice?
I was in the US Coast Guard at the Kodiak Air Station when the 1964 "Good Friday" Earthquake and Tsunami hit . There were three big waves that hit the air station and the town .
Let’s get this straight. At the beginning of the video; you called them tidal waves. What you are describing are not tidal waves. It’s tsunamis. A tidal wave is the bulge created by the gravitational pull of the moon. A tsunami occurs when a body of water is disrupted by something.
Here in the US they were referred to as tidal waves until the late 1970s. Tsunami is a later word of Japanese origin meaning 'harbor wave' and didn't have wide use in the West until the 1970s. I went to college in late 60s-early 70s and even there it wasn't used. I guess they were waiting for the WWII veterans to die off before pushing the word off on our society in general. They could have used Norwegian flodbølge instead.
Good video and appreciated seeing footage I've never seen before. But photoshopping the height of waves in a couple of photos is totally unnecessary - you do not need to exaggerate what a tsunami looks like as people will believe it.
The tsunami of Japan reached maximum height of 40.5 meters that's 132 feet. The tsunami of Indonesia also reached 40 meters in some places, absolutely terrifying.
Information stated regarding the eruption of Mt. St. Helens is incorrect. So much so, it is offensive. If you are going to use these events, at least research and report accurate information.
This is a really terrible video. Virtually all the "details" given are wholly incorrect. The videos shown when the narration talks about the numbered events are almost all not related to what he's talking about. Sometimes they are ridiculous fake phots, completely ridiculous fake photos. It is actually difficult to be so mistaken so consistently. Just reading out Wikipedia entries would have been better. It is painfully incorrect about everything. If you repeat any of the "information" given in the video, expect to be laughed at, or treated like an idiot subsequently.
Hi. Peops. Sure Edward Albert Jaros, it`s called a Swimming Pool!! Just joking buddy. I agree with you. I love the water, even though in my mid 70`s I cannot swim. Apparently my body cannot achieve bouyancy, I simply sink. You all take care out there.
It was a tactic used by vikings to preserve their find. No one would want to go to Iceland if the name implied ice. Vice versa for Greenland. No one has bothered to correct it though.
There’s a lot of photoshop bullshit here. . . and a picture of the Chaudiere Bridge in Ottawa, Ontario. . . on the Ottawa River in Spring Flooding. , .
This stuff makes my skin crawl , I just sit here and imagine what it would look like and feel like seeing something coming that you know u won’t live through
How can you do a video about this and not mention the Cape Verde Islands off the west coast of Africa ? One of the islands is an old dormant volcano thats slowly splitting in half. When that half of the island does break off the resulting landslide will send a MEGA tsunami racing directly at the east coast of the United States. Its only a matter of time before it happens and when it does the damage/ death toll will be unimaginable.
@@impossiblespinningball7456 Having seen other video they filmed from inside the house, they had every opportunity to go and untie the dog and chose not to. Apparently filming was more important.
Their was really no choice to reuse the Vajont dam. The water was 700 feet deep behind it and when the mountain slid into the water it basically eliminated all the water. The water had to go somewhere and that is what caused the wave over the dam that flooded downstream. There was not much space left to hold water anymore....................
